Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Maxeys, GA.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Maxeys where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
